Piece on Earth!
Did you know that jigsaw puzzles were invented in 1776 and were specifically meant to teach geography? They were expensive novelties at first but mass production soon made them available to armchair explorers everywhere. These puzzles were wildly popular in the 1800s and no Victorian parlor was complete without one.
PuzzleMap delivers that same educational power with a modern twist. It challenges you to assemble online maps using a keyboard, mouse or touchscreen. Geographic pieces are scattered around the screen and must be moved and rotated into the correct location. Lots of facts, photos and intriguing clues accompany each adventure. And, when pieces are solved, their clues are linked to descriptions and articles on the internet that provide an in-depth look at unusual and interesting places. This detailed, hands-on tour of the planet is a great way for students of all ages to embark on their own Age of Discovery!
